Hi brainbody,
You don't have to save up for both level 1 and 2 before you start. Get level 1 and start there. I believe most people in the know would direct you to focus there, even if you got both levels at the same time. You don't have to match exercise technique specifics with illness specifics. You just focus on the exercise, and the specifics are addressed. In the mean time, practice your 18 move qigong every day.
Releasing, is facilitated by relaxing. In general , you want to relax, and keep energy moving. When emotions arise, allow that to happen and love yourself as a response, or exercise self compassion as a response, as opposed to a reaction or self judgement about the experience. Take any tension out of that experience. A simple inner self embrace in the heart as you feel the emotion(smile inward). Then go back to the present moment, as opposed to thinking about anything. Other than just mindfulness, in the meantime , utilize your 18 move qigong with the intention of relaxing, and strengthening your body and spirit. Breath in, like through your skin, from all directions into your lower dan tien as you do your qigong. Think very open, energy from the universe coming in from all directions.
love,
gallen
